Screeching noise after replacing my front tires.?

Question

I replaced my front 2 tires recently. After that whenever I apply brake I hear loud screeching noise. This is a Toyota RAV4. When I checked with my dealer, they said brake pads are glazed and needs to be replaced. I explained them everything is fine before the tire replacement and they argued that tire replacement has nothing to do with brake pads. My brakes are 7mm out of 12mm on both front tires. I kind of think that their might be some dust deposit while they replaced the tire. My question: Is my assumption correct? Any other reason? What is the best fix for this issue. Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

My guess is that mechanic got some tire lube on it and now its making that noise. Either way, id recomend giving the rotors a good cleaning. And if that dosent work some new pads would.

Answer 2

billy's answer is the closest guess since the tire shop is correct when just replacing tires...



7 out of 12 mm for the brake pads are still good ~ if you don't have the tools to remove and re-install the tire/wheel assembly, let them take the tires off & have them clean down the rotors w/ brake cleaner



they may have to remove the pads, sand them down a bit, clean, re-install, but that's just going out of their way ~ may cost $ because the pads are already glazed over & the recommendation of new pads will save $ over the labor of doing that process



dust will always be present in that condition so that's out of the equation



doing a brake pad change is pretty straightforward & if you have someone to do this simple remove/replacement job, the pads are relatively cheap

Answer 3

Brakes make noises for all kinds of reasons. I highly doubt that the tires had anything to do with it.



Look at the rotors and make sure that they aren't getting grooves. Other than that, it sounds like you could possibly need the pads lubed and the slides greased.

Answer 4

The pad's need to be replaced,this is pure coincidental . If you think that dust got on them,then you can get a can of brake cleaner and remove the wheels and spray them down real good. This may get you by for a good while. Good luck and hope this helps ya out.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Answer 5

the two the wheel bearing or CV axle. A mechanic could confirm that for you. Jack the front finally end up and spin the tire, stick to the noise to the wheel bearing or the front axle shaft.
